    In The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be, Joanna tells the story of a group of kids who come together to build their very own hot air balloons. Along the way, these kids learn to work together, leaning in to their own skills and processes, to fill the sky with beautiful colors. Featuring vibrant illustrations by Julianna Swaney, this book shows the beauty of celebrating our differences and taking care of one another. “You’re one of a kind, and it’s so clear to see: The world needs who you were made to be.”

    "I was not pleased. Both books were badly bent. I worked in a small independent bookstore and would never had sent these out. I would have returned but had to use it as a gift at a baby shower."

    A Modern Treasure!

    "I was looking for a meaningful and modern book from America for our two small grandsons who live in the UK, something positive, sweet with a mature message. These are wonderful! Joanna Gaines is really a humble genius. All of the test is in rhyme with plenty of vocabulary words to learn and practice for an early reader. Again, I am amazed what a smart woman she is as well as the Artist’s illustrations that convey the ideas about working together and being productive in the style only you can to contribute; we all can contribute ideas in our own way. It teaches respect in the working world and playing world. Working together… isn’t that what we all need to develop the creative spirit? It’s a beautiful keepsake that I’m proud to send across the waters."

    Excellent Book

    "This book was purchased as a gift for a new mother for her baby. She loved the book and said she can’t wait to read it all the way through. Personally, as I read it, I thought that it was very enlightening for our day and age. It teaches us to look at the person not just the outside appearance."
